Prayers for "The Pirate." Enjoy his colorful personality. Sometimes we forget that players and coaches are people and stress impacts them and their families.

Terrible. None of us can ever take tomorrow for granted.
I try to make sure we do the things we would like to do because if you put them off…

Every situation is different, but I had a relative that had a similar situation. She lived for several years. She was able partially regain the ability to speak, but for the most part, she was wheelchair bound till she passed away a few years ago. Amazing considering that she was out (heart stopped) for 15 minutes.Mike Leach 'had a heart attack and may have suffered brain damage'

May have a more complete recovery.
Bill Snyder recanted his tweet, while Coach Leach is in grave condition he is still alive as 7:45EST
I went back to see if anybody else had commented. Didn’t find any. Thanks for following that up.
I don’t Twitt, but are there any Tweets from the Craig James family?

This is sad news. I found Mike Leach to be one of the more colorful head coaches in college football. Coach Leach I wish you a speedy recovery.
WTF is going on?!?Just saw a tweet from Bill Snyder, KSU coach. He said Mike Leach didn’t make it. RIP coach!
The updates seemed pretty clear there was no coming back for coach Leach. He was an interesting guy, hate to see someone go so soon. Take care of yourselves, treasure every day, and make sure those you love know that every day.
Just so sad on top of it at the holidays. Tomorrow is not promised to us. I had a heart attack late january 1 year ago at 55 years old. Cardiologist said congratulations you were part of the 50% of men that didn't ignore the symptoms and try to tough it out. Another 10 minutes at home and they would have found me slumped over the keyboard. Luckily I had zero heart damage and the mother of all stents put in... back to running and biking already and have my nuclear stress test scheduled end of january where if I pass I can workout fully. Bottom line don't ignore symptoms, you would much rather be told it's stress then go through what I did with the paddles on your chest.
RIP Coach. The game is far lesser without you in it.
Mississippi State coach Mike Leach dies after hospitalization
Mississippi State football coach Mike Leach died Monday night after complications related to a heart condition, the school announced. He was 61.

He was an interesting guy, I didn’t care about the schools he was at but found my listening to his press conferences but he would end up telling stories. His teams usually out preformed the talent. The sign of a great coach.
RIP Mike “the Pirate” Leach
